The three-day Vero Beach Air Show drew big crowds throughout last weekend, with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels headlining dazzling performances on Saturday and Sunday, alongside a range of other high-energy aerial acts.
Both afternoons, it looked like half the town turned out for thrilling aerial acrobatics, with people lining 43rd Avenue, Aviation Boulevard and U.S. 1, and hundreds more gathered along 37th Ave. and on the Barber Bridge – not to mention the thousands who bought tickets and watched the show at the airport.
Events kicked off Friday evening with an Afterburner Party featuring night flyers, pyrotechnics and neon-lit aerobatics. Back on terra firma, there were static aircraft displays, a military experience zone with flight simulators, a Navy “Strike Group” mixed-reality exhibit, designed to highlight STEM career opportunities, and some 50 antique and collectible vehicles from the 1920s through the 2020s, showcased by the Antique Automotive Club of America.
